College of the Marshall Islands

What does College of the Marshall Islands offer in terms of athletics?

CMI should not be evaluated as though it has a documented NCAA varsity athletics program. Its reported student-life information does not identify a varsity sports roster or athletic association affiliation.

That distinction matters to applicants hoping to be recruited or receive an athletic scholarship: neither should be assumed. Students interested in playing sports can ask student activities about current recreational games, informal teams, or community competitions and confirm whether any activity is college-sponsored. Recreational participation is different from membership on a varsity team with a published competition schedule.

What student groups and Associations are available at College of the Marshall Islands?

CMI identifies a Student Body Association among its student groups, alongside organizations named the Kwajalein Club and Moriba Club. These offer more specific avenues for involvement than the broad label "student activities," although a listed organization's current meeting schedule can change.

Students interested in representation can ask how the Student Body Association selects members and raises student concerns. Those drawn to a cultural or community-based club should check its current activities and membership arrangements with student services. CMI also reports choral groups, which may offer another way to participate outside class without being the same thing as a student-governed club.

Who studies at College of the Marshall Islands?

CMI enrolls about 1,011 students in the reported institutional figures, making it a relatively small college. Its student body is overwhelmingly drawn from the Marshall Islands: the reported geographic breakdown places roughly 99% of students among local residents.

The 2024-25 entering-student figures include 267 first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates. A separately reported count of full-time, degree-seeking first-year students is 232; those figures describe different reporting groups and should not be treated as interchangeable. Reported ethnicity figures also show a predominantly Pacific Islander student population. These statistics describe enrollment, not the experiences or identities of every individual student.

How does student life look like at College of the Marshall Islands?

Student life at CMI is shaped by its role as a small public college serving Majuro and the wider Marshall Islands. Classes, orientation, student groups, and college events provide ways to meet peers; the day-to-day experience will differ for commuters and students who relocate to attend.

New Student Orientation is a useful starting point for understanding registration, academic expectations, and support services. CMI reports a student health clinic and personal or psychological counseling, so students balancing study with work or family responsibilities can ask how to access those services. The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 15 to 1, an institution-wide measure that should not be mistaken for a promise about the size of every class.

What libraries are available to students at College of the Marshall Islands?

CMI provides library resources for coursework and research. Institutional reporting identifies a main resource named the Library and counts five library locations or units across the institution.

Students should check which collection and services are available at the campus or center they will actually use. For an assignment, useful questions include how to obtain required readings, search academic databases, get research help, and access materials away from campus. Library hours and access to study space may vary by location and term; the institution's library information is more useful for planning than the institution-wide count alone.
